Quote:"Microgaming building a website for us will help us reach those families affected by Huntington’s disease who don’t feel they can attend a support group. Huntington’s is a disease that is very hard to talk about if you’re not ready. The information on the site keeps them up to date with what we are doing and how we can help them – it is also great for raising awareness and funds." - Helen Martin, Chairman at Huntington’s Disease Association IOM
Quote:"Last year we started looking at building a new clubhouse at Marown, and part of the process was raising money. We reached out to Microgaming and were delighted to be accepted for the £1,000 donation. This will go a long way towards our clubhouse." - Phil Kelly, Secretary and Joint Treasurer at Marown Bowling Club
